Columbia, S.C.  - The South Carolina Gamecocks Football team heads back out on the road to College Station, TX to take on the 17th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field this Saturday. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (EST), and will be broadcast by the SEC Network.

The Gamecocks (4-3, 1-3) are coming off of their first conference win on the season, a come-from-behind 21-20 win over Vanderbilt in Columbia, S.C. The Texas A&M Aggies (5-2, 2-2) are coming off of a 35-14 win over Missouri in Columbia, MO.

SEC Network has the television broadcast with Tom Hart and Jordan Rodgers in the booth and Cole Cubelic on the sidelines. Kate Scott and Mike Golic have the national radio call for Learfield College Football Saturday Night. Todd Ellis and Tommy Suggs handle the call for the Gamecock Radio Network with Jamar Nesbit on the sidelines.

THE SERIES: This is the eighth gridiron meeting between South Carolina and Texas A&M. The Gamecocks are still looking for their first win over their "permanent" SEC Western Division rival from College Station. The two schools met for the first time in 2014 in Columbia, with A&M posting a 52-28 win in the season opener for both teams. The Aggies own a 4-0 record in Columbia and are 3-0 against the Gamecocks in College Station. Three of the seven games have been decided by seven points or less.
 
THE BONHAM TROPHY: Amateur historian Richard Peterson, a USC Broadcasting Journalism graduate and previous resident of Alamo Heights in San Antonio, Texas, recommended "The Governor's Trophy" to be named after James Butler Bonham, Hero of the Alamo and himself an Alum of The University of South Carolina. Peterson and Katon Dawson took the idea to then Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina and a new tradition was born. "The Bonham Trophy" is exchanged between the Governors of South Carolina and Texas with the winner taking possession of the Bonham Trophy of "Western Artwork," created by renowned Texas sculptor Jeff Gottfried, and displayed at the victorious State Capital, University or any location the Governor may choose. Two weeks after the Game, The Bonham Trophy is returned for permanent display at The Alamo until the next South Carolina - Texas A&M football game.
 
THE LAST TIME THEY MET: No. 7 Texas A&M rolled to a 48-3 win over South Carolina in Columbia on Nov. 7, 2020. The Aggies scored touchdowns on seven of 10 possessions, while holding a 530-150 advantage in yards and a 38:21-21:39 lead in time of possession.
 
THE LAST TIME THEY MET HERE: Texas A&M scored 17 points in the first nine minutes of the fourth quarter to break open a close contest in a 30-6 win over South Carolina on Nov. 16, 2019 in College Station. Kellen Mond threw for 221 yards and a touchdown and ran for a second score in the win. A&M rolled up 540 yards compared to just 260 for the Gamecocks, including a 319-45 advantage on the ground, as the Aggies controlled the time of possession, 41:39-18:21.

Could be a ugly night at College Station. 

 
Maybe this'll be the game we avoid dumb mistakes on the field and confusing play calls from the box, and execute to our actual abilities. Hope so

 
JALEN BROOKS, JAYLIN DICKERSON OUT FOR TAMU South Carolina play-by-play voice Todd Ellis confirmed on his pregame radio show wide receiver Jalen Brooks and defensive back Jaylin Dickerson will both be out for the Texas A&M game.

 
The Gamecocks are wearing garnet helmets, white jerseys and garnet pants at Kyle Field.

 
Appears South Carolina is going to be without Dylan Wonnum today. 

For GCF guest also we have a chat where a lot of members batter back and forth. Have to be a member to view etc. 

 
Jahmar Brown is going through pregame warmups. Brown hasn't played in two weeks. South Carolina could use the bodies in the secondary.

 
I will say this with all honesty. I have saw a whole lot the Gamecock Football over the years. That said this is by most the worst I ever had seen. This is worst then Bell, worst then Brad, worst then Holtz's first year and their are 4 more games to go. Been ugly wins for the most part and very ugly losses. What really makes this hard is it is really hopeless at this point. You cannot fix this  year. Right now this is coaching, players in between the ears just the whole ball of wax. more then a culture change here.  Not much fight, that is a bad omen, Team flat gave up. Thought would be the case tonight I think we all knew it. To early to tell, hopefully some good recruiting and some coaching staff changes are needed. This is not a SEC caliber coaching staff at this time. Defense has decline through the season and a offense that was real ugly just gets uglier how that could happen is beyond me.

We aren’t good anywhere.

Anybody have the links to the roughing the passer and unsportsmanlike on the same play during the first touchdown drive?
